You Know I'm Right

  • You can scream and shout with all your might
    Dig in your heels and hold on tight
    Either you are wrong or I am right

    You speak the lines you've overheard
    The ring of truth in every word
    You know you're right and that's absurd

    We really seem to have a problem here
    But it is you or me
    Whatever I have going through my mind
    You always have to disagree
    It's just a matter of opinions
    It's not a simple fact
    Why don't you try to see the other side
    Don't turn your back

    Now we survey this silent battleground
    Recriminations all around
    And still no compromise is found

    Now we really have a problem
    And it won't just disappear
    And all the friends we thought we could rely on
    Just want to whisper in my ear

    "It's just a matter of opinions
    You know you keep both in sight
    Why should you bother with the other side
    When you know yours is right." Writer/s: DAVID JON GILMOUR
